Sterling StingRay 5 HH RAY35HH Spalted Maple, Blood Orange Burst Overview
The Sterling StingRay 5 HH RAY35HH is a bold 5-string bass built to deliver that legendary StingRay sound with modern versatility. Loaded with two alnico humbuckers, a 5-way pickup selector, and a 3-band active preamp, it’s designed to cover everything from thunderous low-end grooves to bright, cutting slap tones. The roasted maple neck paired with a rosewood fingerboard feels smooth in the hands and offers rock-solid tuning stability, making it just as reliable for long studio sessions as it is for live gigs. With 22 medium frets and a comfortable 34" scale, it plays fast and fluid while keeping the classic StingRay feel.
This version of the StingRay stands out visually with a striking spalted maple veneer top finished in Blood Orange Burst, adding a touch of boutique style to the iconic design. The transparent pickguard keeps the look clean while showcasing the wood grain, and the open-gear tuners nod to classic bass aesthetics. From funk to rock to pop, the RAY35HH has the punch, clarity, and presence to sit perfectly in the mix while offering players a bass that looks every bit as powerful as it sounds.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionIconic StingRay tone
The Sterling StingRay 5 HH RAY35HH brings that unmistakable StingRay authority with a flexible, modern twist. Two alnico humbuckers feed a punchy 3-band active preamp, so you can dial in anything from fat, chest-thumping lows to tight, percussive slap and glassy top end. The 5-way selector unlocks series, parallel and coil-split flavours, letting you jump from classic roar to articulate, studio-friendly clarity without touching your amp. It’s the big, bold sound that sits in the mix straight away and stays there
Roasted maple feel
A roasted maple neck paired with a smooth rosewood fingerboard delivers a fast, comfy ride with rock-solid stability. The treatment toughens the neck against changes in temperature and humidity, helping it hold tuning through long sets and travel. With a familiar 34" scale, a 12" radius and 22 medium frets, lines, chords and double-stops feel effortless, while the 6-bolt attachment keeps things rock solid.
Stage-ready looks
The spalted maple veneer top in Blood Orange Burst turns heads before you even play a note. A transparent pickguard shows off the grain, keeping the look clean and modern while nodding to the StingRay’s heritage outline. Subtle white dot markers keep navigation fuss-free under stage lights, and the body’s balanced shape sits perfectly on a strap. It’s a proper statement piece: boutique vibes with workhorse intent, ready for the spotlight and the pit
Hardware you can trust
Sterling by Music Man’s solid bridge anchors your tone with excellent sustain and intonation, while open-gear tuners provide smooth, accurate adjustments you can rely on mid-set. The dual-action truss rod makes quick tweaks simple, so you can easily keep things set up perfectly for your playing style. Factory-fitted Ernie Ball 2836 Regular Slinky strings keep things bright, punchy and familiar from the first tune-up. It’s a no-nonsense spec built for daily graft and regular gigging
